EDGE Analysis

Larkin took the ice Thursday, which is certainly a good sign for a short-term recovery. With J.T. Compher (undisclosed) still sidelined, the Red Wings will likely continue to utilize Andrew Copp in a first-line role alongside Patrick Kane. Once given the all-clear, Larkin is a lock to reclaim his first-line role and will rejoin the No. 1 power-play unit as well.

EDGE Analysis

The team didn't provide an update on the nature or severity of Larkin's injury but the fact that he had to be helped off the ice against Ottawa on Saturday doesn't bode well for a short-term absence. At a minimum, the center should be expected to miss the club's next four contests due to his placement on injured reserve.
